Default crank pulley

To fit the LS1 in the car in my avatar, the crank pulley had to be removed. From what I remember, the bolt is not reusable, right?

Any issues with reusing the pulley itself?

Also, does anyone have the torque specs?

Thanks

You should not reuse the bolt as it is a torque to yeild bolt that will actually stretch once all that pressure is applied...I want to say 243 ft\lbs is required to set the pulley. I had a shop replace my worn (wabbely pulley) with an underdrive unit from ASP ($209 for +\- 10HP) and they pinned the crank so it would not walk off and subsequently not require all that torque. If your pulley was not bad to begin with, you can reuse it...but if you are not certain, I would swap it out for piece of mind...its a pain to change once on the car...
